Morning
Abu Dis (the Pishpash), Ras Abu Sabitan (Zeitim Crossing), Sheikh Saed
Thursday morning, 28.4.11
6:05 Sheikh Saed
A stream of people crossing, but produce no lines. Here and there a youngster is asked to show a document.
6:50 Sawaharra A-Sharkiya Checkpoint
Lively traffic of pedestrians. The western gate is locked, mysteriously unlocked at random by an invisible hand. Few cars crossing.
7:30 Zeitim Crossing
Sparse traffic. No line.
Az-Za'ayyem
A traffic jam of dozens of vehicles descending from Az-Za'ayyem and wishing to cross. The crossing is ahead of the checkpoint and the check is performed by a soldier and a security guard. The documents of the drivers are checked, and there are random checks of the vehicles.
On two occasions we saw a couple of dogs and their trainers, but did not have a chance to see them in action.
